Boston Calling 2022 lineup (Metallica, The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Weezer, Avril Lavigne, more)

Boston Calling is set to return this year for its first edition since 2019, and they’ve announced the lineup. It includes one of the headliners they’d revealed back in May — Foo Fighters, originally set for 2020 and now playing Friday, May 27 — but not Rage Against The Machine, who aren’t on Coachella this year, either, and just postponed the first leg of their tour. Instead, the other two headliners are The Strokes on Saturday, May 28 (playing their first Boston show since 2006), and Metallica on Sunday, May 29.

The rest of the lineup includes HAIM, Avril Lavigne, Cheap Trick, Pom Pom Squad and more on Friday; Run the Jewels, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Black Pumas, EarthGang, Orville Peck, KennyHoopla, Sudan Archives, Celisse, Hinds and more on Saturday; and Weezer, Modest Mouse, Goose, Japanese Breakfast, Cults, Horsegirl and more on Sunday. See it in full below.

Boston Calling 2022 happens on Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29, at Harvard Athletic Complex, and tickets are on sale now.
